Recommended Posts

Hi

 

Please can you tell me which colour the 205gti white is - Biancia White or Artic White.

 

Its a 1990 H if thats any use.

 

Thanks

Neither. AFAIK it should be Alpine White - my 90H certainly is anyway. Bianca white is from old 60s/70s stuff, and arctic white is for newer models.

that is what I though (and what I have used to spray the inside of the stripped car)

 

I am about to spray the firbeglass tail gate, and being as it is on the outside I though I best confirm! :D

Maybe Arctic is the old one and Bianca is the new one then, but the 205 is definately Alpine.

I had the same nightmare with my 88' cti,

 

Tried alpine white which I think it should be, no where near, then the artic white which was a closer match, then bianca white was too creamy,

 

Whats the nearest match I found so far? ..............Halfords white primer!

 

what a wind up,

Halfords can't mix the right colours to save their life. Mine is definatly Alpine, but the paint I bought from halfords to paint a petrol cap isn't even close.

your best off taking it to a place who sell's auto paint and get a colour match, thats what i did with my 309 as i had no idea of the colour name/code as they will have colour code charts.

It is def not Alpine white - I have just sprayed the tailgate and it is much darker white...almost cream

 

I think it must be Artic white - no idea why!

Bianca white is the later 306/106 colour as my car is Bianca.

I agree with the halfords colours being off though.
